Do not let a plugin call Wire.begin()
It is already being dealt with in ESPeasy and this may disrupt other I2C communications of other plugins

Why not use the functions in the existing I2C.ino file?
This makes it much harder to fix bugs or change I2C related code later.
Also lots of plugins tend to do just the same, so better use the existing functions then it is also clear what's being done.

I didn't find any function that would cover sensor's requirements, number of bytes to read and write at once.

Please wrap this log creation code in a check for logLevelActiveFor(LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
That will prevent unneeded memory allocation.

Could you please expand how it's done?

if(logLevelActiveFor(LOG_LEVEL_INFO)) {
String log = F("....");
log += bla;
addLog(LOG_LEVEL_INFO, log);
}It will make less memory allocations if not needed.
String handling may cause memory fragmentation and memory allocation is a rather expensive operation.

Thanks. It's now added to the code but compilers does not like it much. I checked other plugins using it and nothing special to include such function shuldn't be needed.
error: 'logLevelActiveFor' was not declared in this scope

Where is this variable co2 declared?
If this code is working, then I'm really curious to see where it is being declared and what value is being messed with by this code.

Fixed, missed declaration. Code worked because of same name global variable from my different plugin.
Plugin code for Cubic CM1107. Should be compatible also with CM1108. It's not easy to get the sensor and there are other options to get CO2 sensing. I needed to test the sensor for a coworker. I'm putting it here for anyone playing with the sensor.
